Gospel artiste, Chidinma Ekile, has recalled how she fasted for 40 days.
She conceded she is not Jesus Christ revered for such a spiritual experience but she insisted she did so.
She told a congregation how she embarked on the journey and the tough battles she faced during the process.
Chidinma, who used to be a secular musician, said: “I went to the mountain. I’m not Jesus, but I fasted and prayed for over forty days. I lost weight. The experience was something I never imagined. I came from America and went straight to the bush. I slept on one side till I finished. I cried, I sang, I prayed, and God came to me and spoke to me. It was so real. I never knew He loved me this much.
“I’ve seen it all, and material things don’t move me anymore. God is looking for those who are not perfect or strong people.
“While I was on the mountain, the enemy tried everything to take me before my time. It was more like I was in a theatre. God performed surgery on me, took some things and put in some. He broke me into shreds.
“I was about to take the jump, and I noticed I was being barricaded, and I couldn’t jump. Something was just there, and I was crying, and somehow my spiritual mum came to get me out. I could have lost my life, but God had mercy. He showered me with so much love, the way I have never known it. I feel so much peace inside of me, peace that I never had and cannot buy with money. I was doing all I had to do, but I wasn’t fulfilled. I needed to move, but I didn’t know how. But Jesus is King.”
